Producing technicolor through brain-like electronic devices

Researchers have successfully obtained vivid colors by using semiconductor chips - not dyes - made by mimicking the human brain structure.

Quantum light squeezes the noise out of microscopy signals

Researchers used quantum optics to advance state-of-the-art microscopy and illuminate a path to detecting material properties with greater sensitivity than is possible with traditional tools.

Physicists achieve tunable spin wave excitation

Scientists excite magnons in nanostructures with laser pulses.

Coronavirus nanoscience: the tiny technologies tackling a global pandemic

Nanotechnology has an impressive record against viruses and has been used since the late 1880s to separate and identify them. More recently, nanomedicine has been used to develop treatments for flu, Zika and HIV. And now it's joining the fight against the COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2.

Paving the way for tunable graphene plasmonic THz amplifiers

Researchers successfully demonstrated a room-temperature coherent amplification of terahertz (THz) radiation in graphene, electrically driven by a dry cell battery.

Meta-DNA structures transform the DNA nanotechnology world

Researchers announced the creation of a new type of meta-DNA structures that will open up the fields of optoelectronics (including information storage and encryption) as well as synthetic biology.

New evidence that the quantum world is even stranger than we thought

Researchers report new experimental evidence of a collective behavior of electrons to form quasiparticles called anyons. Anyons have characteristics not seen in other subatomic particles, including exhibiting fractional charge and fractional statistics that maintain a 'memory' of their interactions with other quasiparticles by inducing quantum mechanical phase changes.
